Chapter Forty-two - Forty-three Summary

In the next few weeks, Will notes that Grandpa has let his hair grow back out. He isn't happy and lets his mean streak show more. There is a hotel owner that Grandpa feels shorted him on a land deal in years past. When the owner advertises that he is going to have a drawing to rename the hotel, Grandpa puts his entry in to name it after himself. When his entry is drawn, Grandpa makes him stick to the deal and the hotel is named "The Rucker Blakeslee Hotel."

The next day Grandpa gets sick. From hearing his symptoms, Will thinks he may be playing sick. He remembers that Grandpa has told him that when he doesn't know what to do, he should try something, anything, rather than doing nothing.
